Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

Not my parents, but my uncle told me...I was about 10 when i got my first home computer, a Commadore Vic 20 no less (2 whole k of ram!), which my uncle bought me. He convinced me that if I typed any rude words not only would it shut itself down never to work again, but also automatically call my parents phone and tell them what I'd been doing.
Like a mug I believed him. Yes this was a long time ago.
